Too many posts on parties and bands, so time for something a bit more stimulating. Warsaw’s Chrum T-shirt company brings out some of the most innovative - and relevant - Tees in the region. Especially those pertaining to this year’s Chinese Olympics. Check them out below. They’re vyked, and beasts just like us, especially with their slogan, ‘We are Pigs.’ Some of the shirts were designed by a B EAST contributor, Jan Kallwejt. (www.kallwejt.com)
Eastern Europe has seen it all before: EasyJet lager louts stampeding through the streets of their quaint cities in a violent search for sex, booze and high-volume hedonism. So pervasive has the Anglo-Saxon male invasion been that cities set up campaigns against ‘Sex Tourism’, bars banned Stags from entering, and entire swathes of the local population who once revered the English turned hostile to Blightey and closed themselves off to foreigners in general.
But Moscow, the growling petro beast of the East, is still a virgin when it comes to stags. It’s gorgeous women imagine English people wearing bowler hats and pinstrip suits while puffing on a pipe and sipping some Darjeeling. They haven’t heard of hooligans or chavs or sex tourists and are more excited than worried by this week’s invasion of over 40,000 beery fans for the Champions League final on Wednesday, May 21st. Will it turn into another Manchester from last week, with riots spilling out between Chelsea fans (all Russians) and Man. United. Will this week finally shatter the illusions of Russian women who think British men are soft and intellectual.
Noone knows for now. But the cops are getting ready are so are the local English-language rags that have been there and done that and know what to expect. Stay tuned for more.
Yes, this is a promo vid for a Stag tour operator, so there’s certainly some Borat-like skewing going on here. It’s already a cliché though that East Europe has hotter babes than the West.
That explains the tens of thousands of sex tourists that have invaded
in the last five years, hoping for a quickie with a Slavic lovely, or even
the chance to bag a sizzling hot girlfriend by flashing their Euros and
talking up a swank bachelor pad in London or Milan to invite them
back for a week or more.
While that might have worked even three years ago, the truth is that
as Eastern Europe has been integrated into the EU, those Euros and foreign
passports have lost their flash. Also, many of the young, gorgeous things
that were trapped in their cheesy, local clubs playing bad 80s pop, and
forced to date the local, mullet-headed ‘cool’ boys or the stray Italians
or Brits that made it over have already hightailed it abroad and are
most likely working the tap at your local pub.
